Dear all

My DS just successfully appealed into NJC, he is over the moon. As ours is an appeal case, we missed the talk during the registration on the 22nd. I have 2 questions, hopefully some of you could share your experience with us.
1. I heard that NJC does not encourage/allow additional tuition. Is tht true? But I Know of students who actually do go for tuition. Will this eventually lead to the primary school tuition craze, where parents are afraid that their kids will lose out? Pls share if tuition is really necessary?
2, understand that NJC does not arrange transport for 3rd language classes at Bishan. How do your kids go for these classes?
TIA for your sharing.

:congrats:

Thanks. Any chinese publication to recommend ? TIA.

The Chinese teacher will give out Chinese publications - one is NJC students essay compilation and the other one is sth like Reader's Digest. Not sure whether these are FOC or part of the curriculum package we made at beginning of the year. These publications are not regular weekly/monthly types.

Thanks again for the information.

Does anyone know approx what is the class size for AEP and MEP? And what is the acceptance rate like (out of those who went for selection test)? Is the normal class size about 25? Tks!

What is the Talent Management Scheme about? My JH1 dd is interested in it. Does she have to go through trials/auditions, and if selected, can skip the Cafe CCA? Or would she do both Cafe CCA and the specific CCA? Can she join the Talent Management Scheme at any point in the year? Thanks!!

This NJC KSP community is pretty quiet. Anyway, confirmed JH 101 is AEP class (my dd got in).

Each year sec 1 intake is 200+/-

There r 8 classes, so on avg each class is 25 students.

I think there are very few NJCian in this thread who r in AEP or MEP.

Anyway, with a new Principal on board, how things r done might hv changed.

It would be better for the interested party to check with the teachers-in-charge for the updated details.
